[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hoihtah:
got my nook tablet less than a week ago.

my first impression of the tablet was that the lcd was not as bright as i imagined.

at first i thought it was the screen brightness setting.

but even at max, it wasn't as bright as i had expected.

... especially when compared to kindle fire.

at the time, i didn't think much of it.

but today, the screen back light started to flicker.

i did a normal data wipe and returned it to bn for an exchange.

they took it back without much trouble... but just wondering if i'm the only one.

the new screen seems to be brighter... at max setting.

i should go back to bn and compare to other display models.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to ask/wonder this, nor will I be the last, but I was curious if anyone here knew of a way that you could (theoretically) hack a free data plan from T-Mobile or any other wireless carrier? I assume you would somehow have to hack into the company's servers and change your account settings or something, or would it be somehow possible to trick the network into thinking you were a data plan subscriber (without using a stolen SIM card of course)? Just curious to see what everyone thought, I DO NOT plan on attempting this, just fyi to any forum mods.

I think there is a way... Search on craigslist houston, texas and I found a guy can do it for $130. He said it will be on a different sim card.
[Networking] Babydollll:
There used to be a way to surf the web (on your T-Mobile phone) using MMS....I just pay for my data....it's MUCH EASIER....not cheaper, but easier...and ETHICAL
[Networking] garychencool:
Possible, yes. Many have been doing this since like ever because they either have the talent or has found someone that can. It's like hacked satellite, etc.
[Networking] bobofosho123:
I understand how one could steal cable or satellite, i.e. with cable you simply buy a decoder box and hook the coax up from a neighbor and with satellite you just buy your own and blah blah. But with cell phone internet, if the network doesn't recognize your device or sim card as being registered with the network I don't think you could do it. The only way I could think of would be to hack into T-Mo's servers and change your account settings or to use a stolen sim card with a data plan on it. But then again, I might be wrong. Do u know the technical details of how it would be done though? Btw I'm a Samsung Vibrant running CM7, not sure how that would affect the hacking process, just fyi.
[Networking] garychencool:
Well this is different from hacking satellite because allvyour doing is receiving the satellite data, your probably not going to any. For wifi, all you need is a password. For Mobile cell towers, we'll you would indeed need the simple card to work where a plan must be set for SIM card and the account associated with it. Think of a sim card being your devices mac address. Of course you can spoof SIMON cards. But you would need an account with Internet in it. You could hack, do that stuff, and set the account to prepaid where the balance is thousands of dollars but that would raise too many alarms. Either way, it's possible and the phone companies are not stupid (anymore).

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jziggy101:
I have spent a large amount of time getting my Nook to boot from an SD card with CM7. It finally works exactly like I want it to but now I want to back that SD card to an identical one for a backup so I won't have to do all the setup again if something goes wrong on updates etc.

I know lots of people are talking about Win32disk imager but whenever I run it I get an error at the app start and it won't copy my 16gb sd card.

Is there another way to make a reliable backup of the SD card?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvee:
I've done it many times, running Win32disk imager in admin mode. Otherwise the 30 day trial version of WinImage (http://www.winimage.com/download.htm) works just fine.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSUlion01:
Do these clone/backup options create images that are the same size as the card, or just the size of the used space? Every attempt I've made leaves me with a 32gb image, even if only 1-2gb are being used on the card.

Can someone suggest how to clone my entire card (all partitions) so that the resulting image is just the size of the used space? Mac or PC method is fine. I've created .DMGs on my Mac that are sized the way i'd like, but I get a ton of errors when I try to restore those images.

Thanks!

Well , next week am planning to buy Sensation XE .

But here in XDA there are 2 forums... one for HTC Sensation and other for Sensation XL .

But there is no seperate forum for Sensation XE.

So where can i get custom rom etc for Sensation XE ?

Thanks , waiting for ur reply!
[HTC Sensation] boodee0110:
The Sensation and Sensation XE are the same device. The Sensation XE only has it's CPU clock set higher. Anything in this forum will also work with the Sensation XE.

Just make sure to apply Super-CID to your device so all ROMs can run on your device.

So i just received my new Mugen 1900 battery in the mail and want to condition it right. The paper that came with the battery says you need to charge it 12 hours 5 times which is no problem. My question is should i charge it up to 100% for 12 hours then erase the battery stats on the phone and proceed to condition it?
[HTC Sensation] Quakeworld:
My answer to you would be a big.... yes :D The ROM that you are using has (I'm sure) already conditioned itself to your old battery.. So wiping in my opinion would be a wise choice...and I would do it in the manner of which you've described.. :)
[HTC Sensation] dr9722:
Yes you will need to wipe the stats. Dont be alarmed though if you get poor battery life for the first few days of your new battery. You need to go though several charge cycles before your battery is correctly configured.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
You only need to wipe the stats once though.

Don't reboot/restart/power off then power on thr phone during the first charge down cycle, otherwise you will mess up the readings/conditioning.

[General Questions and Answers] Keylogger_0:
I'm at a loss here. I'm not sure which phone I should get.

I want something that's "futureproof". I use that term VERY loosely because I know mobile technology is always evolving.

I'm looking for something that's fast, and will last some time. I don't care if it runs on stock android or not.

I was thinking of either HTC Sensation, HTC Amaze, Samsung Galaxy S2, and the like. I'm not too sure on which I should get though.

By the way, this will be my second android phone, coming from the HTC G1. (Yes I know, THE G1)

What phone would you suggest? I've looked through the reviews and videos of them all, I just simply can't decide. I'm leaning towards the HTC Amaze since it's one of the latest devices out there.

I'm also open to other suggestions but keep in mind, it has to be under T-Mobile.

I apologize in advance if there has been similar threads posted and/or if this thread is in the wrong location.

[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
I would go for the SGSII.
[General Questions and Answers] gerbetta33:
HTC makes solid phones that perform well out of the box, but from what I hear they are tough to root. Samsung tend to have great quality screens, Motorola has good hardware. I would suggest (if you are going for future proof) getting a dual core phone, at least 1Ghz, 1.2Ghz if you can. I believe the HTC Evo 3D has a dual core 1.2GHz, as well as the Galaxy SII and Galaxy Nexus. Get something with a good screen because if you are going to be using it for a long time, you want it to look nice, am I right? I don't know if the camera is a big deal to oyu, but LG makes good cameras, and I would shoot for at least 5M camera.

With all of that in mind, the HTC sensation looks like a solid phone on paper, but is pretty expensive and reviews don't look too good. If rooting is your thing, you can fix performance.

Galaxy SII is amazing, with great specs, great screen, great camera, and a dual core 1.2Ghz processor. Combined with a top of the line GPU, this phone will handle games and rendering with top of its class performance. if money is not an issue, I would go with that. Again, if rooting is your thing, the development community behind the GSII is going to be amazing. Also, this phone is very likely to get Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 as an official release.

The HTC Amaze is a great phone with a 1.5ghz dual core processor with HTC sense (which is a major downfall of the phone apparently, as sense is laggy and choppy on the Amaze. I like sense UI but other launchers are better on this phone) AGAIN, if rooting is your thing, you can fix performance. Heck, you dont even have to root, you just have to download a launcher off the market.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

I would choose between the HTC amaze and the galaxy SII. HTC has an amazing build quality, Galaxy SII has the development and hardware power. If you plan on getting a case for the phone, then how it feels wouldn't matter, I would go with the SGII. It all boils down to personal preference.

Cheers!

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

I'm sorry I made a mistake, the SGSII is actually a 15.Ghz dual core phone, not 1.2Ghz. Definitely go with the Samsung.
[General Questions and Answers] Keylogger_0:
Thanks for being thorough! I don't understand what you mean by hardware power for SGS2, since both SGS2 and HTC Amaze would have the same 1.5 GHz snapdragon processor, 16 GB internal memory, 42+ Mbps HSPA, and the like.

I like HTC because of its build quality and I love how their phones are always weighty, so it feels really solid. But I've heard cons such as the light bleed issues, and some others. SGS2 has a humongous screen, and seems to be unbrickable due to odin (correct me if I'm wrong), but I've heard that the AMOLED and its resolution may prove to be a downside, and the fact that it's very light may make it seem flimsy.

Oh the choices! :P
[General Questions and Answers] watt9493:
go to the store and use both? thats how i picked between my incredible and the droid x. id go with the phone with better development honestly. spec wise theyre virtually the same, except sense&touchwiz. ewwhhhhh.
[General Questions and Answers] gerbetta33:
Yeah, that's one of the bad things aobut samsung devices: they tend to look and feel flimsy. HTC definitely got it right with their style of build, I am envious that I have never owned an Evo 4G. However, if you buy an otterbox, that really helps with how it feels.
[General Questions and Answers] Keylogger_0:
I'm just trying to figure which one is better though, one has the light bleed issues, but they're not horrible, while the other has really low DPI due to the huge screen and low resolution. Currently, I'm leaning towards the Amaze, because most of HTC phones feel really solid.
